Today, I asked my friend to stop texting me, because I'm on a limited plan and didn't want to go over my limit. She responded by getting a group of her friends to text bomb me. I got well over a hundred one-word texts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a friend asked me to help him get rid of a girl who would't stop texting him. It worked perfectly. Now she's texting me nonstop. FML
Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML
Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML
Today, I discovered a way to send a massive number of text messages to someone simultaneously, so I decided to do it to my friend as a prank. I quickly noticed that I forgot to disable the delivery notification feature. FML
Today, I had been trying to text my girlfriend all day, but no reply. After a while, I became worried so I called. She picked up and said, "Can't talk, busy." Not even a minute later, my best friend says to me, "Dude, tell your girlfriend to leave me alone. She's been texting me all day." FML
Today, I asked my husband for the 1000th time to stop texting a woman he used to be friends with in high school, with whom he recently reconnected, and that I’m feeling neglected in this marriage. He responded by saying, “Fine! I guess I can’t have any friends then!” and took a hammer to his phone, breaking it. FML
Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML
Today, I got a text from my crush. In my clumsy attempt to quickly grab the phone, I knocked it off the kitchen counter and cracked the screen. After driving to my friend's house so I could put my sim card in her phone, I saw that the text said, "Who is this? Stop texting me." FML
Today, I found out my best friend made a program to reply to my text messages with random sentences from a list. It took 15 minutes of texting before I finally noticed. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

You don't get charged if you don't open the texts. Ydi for not having any common sense.

you do know some people have plans or a service that charges you as soon as you get or send a text not for opening it but for getting it right? if not your a dumbass who should just stfu and get a life instead of saying people deserve something when they can't control it.

What the **** are you smoking? You get charged for receiving texts, not opening them. If you ran a store, and had a choice of charging customers for everything they buy, or just what they end up using, which would you do? It's the same principle.

No, #118, it's like if you ran a store, and had a choice between charging people for what they brought to the checkout counter, or for every item that was put in their cart while they were in the store. Including the forty-seven bags of Silly Bandz some jackass tossed in your cart while you were looking for your diet cola. It's retarded.

that's just rude. when you go over your texting it gets extremely expensive! if it's a huge amount over, see if you can upgrade the plan just for this month and pay like 5 or 10 dollars extra instead of per text. thats what I do when I go over

Just in defense of the people who keep saying op should get unlimited text messaging.. some people CANT afford it. If you're on your parents plan and they refuse to get unlimited because they feel you don't need to be texting all the time, then what can you do? If you live on your own and are barely getting by some plans can get expensive, and yes I know there are providers that don't charge a lot, but with this economy, who knows?

Wait, you get charged for other people texting you?! Hmm. That's hard to get my head around.

If she uses top off cards, then yeah. It's weird. I used to have that, but then I got a new phone and changed my plan. That sucks, OP!

it's kinda funny when you say it's hard to imagine that and your profile pic is you taking a pic of yourself with an iPhone. it's hilarious irony :D

I don't get the irony... #47 is from England, and here we don't pay to receive texts... it truly is a strange system... someone wants to talk to you, they pay. You want to reply, you pay. The only times we get charged for receiving is abroad.

And still, we don't get charged for receiving texts! (In Holland that is)

Was the word "Cheapskate?"

I didn't think you got charged to get a text, just to "open" it and read it. I might be wrong.

Your friend is retarded. But the question is, did you ask her politely and explain why you had to do that? Was she texting you something she felt was important and you just sent a text back saying "stop talking to me?" Sometimes you might seem rude when you didn't mean to be. She might have had something important to tell you or felt like you were just being a rude friend, so she felt her revenge was ample payment for your rudeness? Either way, it seems like your friend has issues and might not be the best friend for you to be associating with and it would be best to end contact with her.

It sounds to me like her friend did what just seems common with most teenagers: do something insensitive to someone in groups, laugh about it,and call them a poor sport for not taking it lightly. Asking them not to do something always tempts them to do the exact opposite. Kids are cruel. I suggest OP sends her 'friend' the bill.
